It seems like a bug in the way sparse handles “pure” functions that return
a pointer.
One of the pure functions in question is defined as following:
static inline __pure
struct mcs_spinlock *grab_mcs_node(struct mcs_spinlock *base, int idx)
{
return &((struct qnode *)base + idx)->mcs;
}
and the corresponding variable definition and the assignment statement that
produce a warning (in kernel/locking/qspinlock.c) are:
struct mcs_spinlock *prev, *next, *node;
…
node = grab_mcs_node(node, idx);
The issue can be recreated without my patch with
# sparse version: v0.6.1
make ARCH=x86_64 allmodconfig
make C=1 CF='-fdiagnostic-prefix -D__CHECK_ENDIAN__' kernel/locking/qspinlock.o
The warnings can be eliminated by adding an explicit cast, e.g.:
node = (struct mcs_spinlock *)grab_mcs_node(node, idx);
but this seems wrong (unnecessary) to me.
